The Responsible Administrator
Praise for the Fifth Edition of The Responsible Administrator "Cooper's fifth edition is the definitive text for students and practitioners who want to have a successful administrative career.

Paul Tillich and Psychology
Paul Tillich, more than any other theologian of the twentieth century, maintained an energetic dialogue with psychology, and especially psychotherapy. This book explores what Tillich's theology has to offer psychologists and others working in the field of mental health, spiritual development, and pastoral counseling. Tillich's interaction with Carl Rogers, Erich Fromm, Rollo May, and other famous psychologists became an important part of his thinking. Tillich frequently pushed psychologists to see the underlying philosophical assumptions of their work. This investigation of the underpinnings of psychotherapy then encouraged psychotherapists to become more aware of the ultimate questions abou...
Sin, Pride & Self-Acceptance
What is at the root of the problem of humanity? Is it pride or lack of self-esteem? Do we love ourselves too much or too little? The debate about the human condition has often been framed this way in both theological and psychological circles. Convictions about preaching, teaching, marriage and child rearing, as well as politics, social welfare, business management and the helping professions, more often than not, fall on one side or the other of this divide. With theological and psychological insight Terry D. Cooper provides trenchant analysis of this centuries-long debate and leads us beyond the usual impasse. Humanistic psychology has often regarded traditional Christianity as its archriv...
Orange Detention
Orange Detention is a trio of middle-school stories about real-life issues they face today. The first story, Orange Detention, is a story about a fifth grader whose great-grandfather holds a special place in her heart, a place she defends passionately. Locker 652 recounts the first day of sixth grade for a twelve-year-old boy with a huge pimple on his nose. What he learned in school that day wasn't taught in the classroom and it changed his life. Coach Life is the story of a ten-year-old's perception of living in a trailer park, Magic Meadows. Her magnanimous heart and self-awareness explore life lessons for children and adults.
Accepting The Troll Underneath the Bridge
Just who is "the troll"? The troll is the disgruntled, negative voice within each of us that works tirelessly to remind us of our deepest fears of inadequacy. As we attempt to better ourselves or our lot in life--that is, to cross any bridge--it is the troll underneath that bridge that belittles and taunts us until, too battered to go on, we return to the "safe" side of the bridge. The troll is well equipped to do battle, employing a full arsenal of tricks to promote self-doubt and keep us as prisoners of low self-esteem. Rather than suggest that we wage war with the troll, however, Terry Cooper--through a sound blend of psychology and spirituality--encourages us to understand the ways of the troll, the ways we inadvertently aid and abet the work of the troll and the ways we can handle our conflict with the troll. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Cooper helps us realize that it is our acceptance of the troll as part of ourselves that ultimately enables us to disarm the troll. With this realization, we no longer resist grace; we are on the way to healing our troll.
Learning Phonics
This consumable workbook is full-color and provides a very engaging way to practice phonics skills. The exercises are fun and the directions are easy-to-follow, so kids can do the work on their own. As they fill out the colorful worksheets, they progress from recognizing letters and sounds to words beginning with certain consonants to short vowel sounds to simple word families (like “in”, “ig”, and “un”). They color pictures that begin with the featured letter, circle pictures that begin with the letter, identify consonants and vowels, find objects that begin with the featured letter in jumbled pictures, and more.
Chesterfield Tides
The body of this story traces the adventures of Terry Cooper before, during and after WWII. It starts with the private loss he felt as the war came crashing down on his north London neighborhood. It follows his personal growth both as a soldier and a young man rapidly exposed to the world outside the shell of his childhood life. He must tap into his training and street smarts to survive as an undercover agent hiding in Germany before D-Day, and the course of his mission is altered by a bazaar event he could never have imagined or planned for. His exposure to war time life in Germany shifts his narrow opinion of a people under threat. After his near death experiences desperately trying to get to the safe side of the moving battle lines of 1944, he endures the twisted mind of a war bureaucrat with a uniform and commission. At last he returns to his beloved mother and the unexpected challenge and self discovery while recovering in the west coast of Ireland. Later in his life an unanticipated legacy discovery shocks him, and the words of a stranger from so many years before suddenly become understandable.
